College Namings

Universities increasingly compete to attract top students and faculty. A named college, department, school or program can demonstrate prestige to our prospective students and faculty members.

If you name a college, you can also strengthen it in so many ways. Your agreement may have provisions for a portion of endowment earnings to be used for faculty development, student scholarships, program support and capital enhancements.
